A Mask-erade
So with the Young’s Annual Retail Awards Masquerade Ball drawing closer, I’m starting to get a little excited. With my dress finally sorted (lengthy indecision), hair booked in, all that remains is the mask to pull it all together.
My dress is slinky and black, and am thinking a pop of colour in rouge for the nails and lips, and potentially gold dainty heels and a matching clutch. So this limits me to an essentially black mask, perhaps with a flash of gold, but no more colours. I have matching issues. Those who knew me as a teen will know these are at least slightly relaxed since then. But still black, gold and a flash of red is enough.
Browsing through eBay, these are the ones that have caught my eye so far;
1. This one is what I was looking for. Sexy, not too overpowering but subtly feminine.
2. This one, there’s something I just love. The side detail. The half and half colour swap. The metallic shimmers. Even the highway man description. Just not sure if liking it justifies it being the chosen ONE.
3. If I was to make a commitment to the mask for life, I would opt for this more expensive number from trustworthy mask making company Just Posh Masks. Apparently, (colleague quote) “the only people to buy masks from”. The detail on this handmade Venetian mask makes it almost worth the £37.50, however no excuse for discarding it at any point during the evening!

4. And for those boys that may feel left out, I spotted this treat, and would love to see someone wearing it. I love the full face element, the flames licking up towards the hairline and the detail on all edging.
I further love this site in general http://masqueboutique.com/products/womens-masks/
